(Optional)
I attest this submission is accurate, true, and in compliance with GCU policy guidelines, to the best of my ability to do so.
Clinical Practice Evaluation 1 focuses on GCU’s Professional Dispositions. Please consider how the teacher candidate has
interacted with students and staff in relation to the following standards.
Fairness
Teacher candidates should promote social justice and equity, maintain appropriate standards of confidentiality, and
exercise fairness in all areas including assessment.
FS Comments: Ashanty employed a classroom-wide positive behavior system to recognize students transitioning on-
task. She provided positive feedback when recognizing student academic achievement (addition facts). She circulated
and observed students’ work during warm up. Ashanty reminded students to use their hand gestures for
communication during whole group lesson. She balanced student participation: “Let’s hear from someone else”. She
reviewed with the whole class to gauge student understanding of the math lesson.
CT Comments: When grading Formative Loop, for example she grades with fairness and not giving preference to some
students over others.
Professional Conduct
Teacher candidates should exercise sound judgment and ethical behavior. They should be a positive role model within
their community.
FS Comments: Ashanty is mostly consistent with responding to professional communication. She collaborates with her
CT. She is in developing stages of professional communication skills in co-teaching, i.e. communicating directly to
resolve concerns and issues in the classroom.
CT Comments: Ashanty doesn’t make judgements about students or staff. She keeps things confidential and doesn’t talk
about others.
Curiosity
Teacher candidates should promote and support curiosity and encourage active inquiry.
FS Comments: Ashanty asked students to explain their thinking and strategy: “Remember you said you needed to re-
group – why?”
CT Comments: Ashanty discusses science and social studies lessons with me so that she knows which way to guide
students. This way students have inquiries and are not spoon-fed answers.
Honesty

FS Comments: Ashanty displays integrity in the workplace.
CT Comments: Ashanty conducts herself professionally at all times whether with students or staff.
Compassion
Teacher candidates should demonstrate professional friendliness, warmth, and genuine caring in their relationships with
others while providing intellectual, emotional, and spiritual support.
FS Comments: Ashanty displayed a warm and supportive manner with students, maintaining a clam demeanor
throughout class. Her management and re-directive comments were framed in the positive and she related to
students in a respectful manner.
CT Comments: Ashanty discusses students’ homelife with them to build meaningful relationships and to get to know
them.
Advocacy
Teacher candidates understand the impact of community involvement and servant leadership as it applies to the welfare
of others in the educational setting.
FS Comments: Ashanty takes initiative to bring her own ideas and strategies to the classroom.
CT Comments: Ashanty stayed for Back to School Night and was helping with our classroom raffle/fundraiser. She
continues to help with ongoing fundraising.

CT Overall Feedback
Evaluation #1
Pre-observation
Areas of focus that I believe I need to work on are Advocacy, I need to believe more in myself so I can be more
successful in my student teaching. Another would be Reflection, I need to be able to recognize and be
thoughtful when teaching, recognize signs when students are not understanding the lesson so that I can
reteach it.
I have noticed that when the teacher is teaching the lesson up on the board and expecting the students to
write what she is writing there are many of them who are not doing the assignment therefore, I believe we need
to constantly be walking around the room to make sure they are following along.
A big success I believe is getting an ELL student talking, she is very quite but never speak up, I have built a
good relationship with her and I finally got her to say a short sentence in English.
A challenge would be, having to do things the exact same way as my cooperating teacher, I respect her and
value what she is doing for me, but I do not always agree with her strategies, but I follow them.
I communicate daily with my cooperating teacher, we plan everything together, she gives me feedback
everyday.
Post-observation
What did I learn about my *strengths* after this evaluation? How can I use this knowledge to help me be successful in
the classroom?
I learned that I do have many areas of strengths were I thought I did not, this can help me be more confident in what I
do.
- What did I learn about my *challenges* after this evaluation? How can I use this knowledge to help me be
successful in the classroom?
I learned that my biggest challenge is believing in myself, I did better than I expected. I need to start believing than I can
do it so I can help my students be more successful.
- What gets in the way of me doing my best in this placement?
I believe that my fear of doing things wrong can get in the way of doing the best in this placement.
- What gives me a feeling of satisfaction in my work as a student teacher?
That the students are actively participating in class, and that they know what we are doing and why we are doing it. That
they can verbally explain how to solve a problem, or find a solution, rephrase, compare anything.
- How do I feel about myself as a student teacher and about the work that I am completing?
It feels great, its all I have ever wanted, it is a great experience and I look forward of having a class of my own.
- An area of focus I plan to work on going forward is ...
Once again believing in myself, I know I can do this and I need to stop fearing that I will do things wrong. I need to be
fully aware that there will be good days and bad days in where I need to reflect on my teaching strategies and find ways
to improve.
